full Of men, and women filled the houses,
while the stables overran with horses.

with limbs like gate posts and feet broad
enough to match; immense body, quiet,
kindly disposition and everything ab"u,
him % suit the loom OF form and muscular
force.
The tlcettooted roadster and ,r,,.ler,
with bread, dat legs, long strides, action
unsurpassed, deep cheats, wide open nos.
trils, sharp, email ears, large eyes, sleek
coats, and handsome a. picture, weuld
please the eye Of the most fas,idious.

yer name and tail, weighing about iGoo
pounds, which took the blue ribbon for the
class Of draft horses. There was good
